ITEM 4: Public Hearing to consider approval of a variance request from Section 9-2-6(D) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, for the property located at 117 Whispering Hills Drive. Bryan and Kate Forsythe are requesting a 12-ft. variance to allow for the construction of a fence and driveway gate in the front yard of their property in this SF-12 zoned district, in order to provide a somewhat confined area for their children to play. To date, two gateposts have been constructed, without a permit, 18 feet off the street. The City’s Zoning Ordinance states that it shall be unlawful to erect or maintain a fence within the front yard of any lot, from the front building line to the front lot line. The “front building line”, as that term is used, means: the building line established by the building constructed on the lot if such established building line is a greater distance from the front lot line than that established by law. ITEM 5: Public Hearing to consider approval of a variance request from Section 35-2(B) 2(b) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, for the property located at 920 Warren Crossing. Rodney and Melissa Helm are requesting a variance to allow for the completion of a 560 sq. ft. arbor and patio, including outdoor kitchen, located in the east sideyard of their lot, in this SF-9 zoned district. The contractor demolished the previous arbor and patio in that same location, but failed to obtain a permit for the construction of the new, now partially-constructed structure. The City’s Zoning Ordinance requires that an accessory structure exceeding 150 sq. ft. in area maintain the same minimum side setback as is required for the main structure. The minimum side setback for SF-9 zoning is 8 feet.
